Because the Cowboys owner didn’t elaborate, we’ll likely never know what could possibly have been misrepresented, though the person believed to have leaked them does seem a bit eccentric. Jones, who, as you know, is not typically camera shy, had avoided the media all week — he stayed off the field before the team’s preseason game against San Diego on Saturday, and didn’t talk to reporters afterwards either. He claimed to have a cold, but it seems like everybody within earshot felt like that was an excuse as opposed to a reason.

“I just don’t have a problem with it at all,” Jerry Jones said, “and I don’t deem it inappropriate at all. Part of Blandino’s job during the offseason is to network with the clubs, that’s a good thing. Officiating is doing a good job, and I just don’t have a problem with that. As you know, our bus is an area that we entertain and that’s what we do. So I just don’t have a problem with that.”

There will probably never be another owner quite like Jerry Jones in American sports for as long as we live.
